This is a tough situation. I am in the same situation in Dynasty NHL. I took on a team that was in a worse situation than the Rangers in this league. I have done everything, within in rules, to turn that team around.
Everyone in the league knew I had no shot at winning. They were happy I was there to set lineups, and that I was on the boards. I totally agree that no team should be throwing games, but coming into a situation like I did in Dynasty, or Jesse did here, the new owner wants to make changes.
Bottom line, no rules were broken. Also, I don't believe that Jesse threw any games. He didn't bench guys that were playing. He played who he could.
I don't think any rule change needs to be made. Jesse is doing a rebuild, and doing everything, within the rules, that he can to make his team the best he can.
